The Local Plan - housing proposals

The Local Plan was submitted to the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government on 28 August 2014. This plan, which could potentially have an impact on Padfield and the surrounding area, included housing proposals for Roughfields and North Road. The Local Plan covers the administrative area of High Peak Borough Council.

We can confirm that the Local Plan was finally adopted on 14 April 2016, which sets out the council's vision and strategy for the borough until 2031. This includes the proposed locations mentioned above for development, with the North Road site already under way. This means that Roughfields is still a proposed development site.

​Further details and documentation regarding the Local Plan can be found on the High Peak Local Plan Examination page of the High Peak Borough Council website. The documentation set out here includes the local plan itself, additional modifications, sustainability appraisal and the examination library (documents submitted for consideration during the examination of the High Peak Local Plan).

The Council is preparing an updated policies map. The 'Submission Local Plan Policies Map' document April 2014 and 'Further Changes to the Policies Map' document are in the examination library ref A2 and AA3.
